I still have a 48-482 here that is partially finished.

I just checked it...yes, it has the FM antenna as you describe. There is one wire which protrudes from the chassis and is soldered to what looks like a large, long solder lug which is folded around the power cord on a piece of plastic molded into the cord for this purpose.

You could replicate this by putting some tape around the cord near the chassis to keep the metal piece from cutting into the insulation (most likely why Philco had a piece of plastic molded into the original cord). Then solder a solder lug to the wire, fold the lug around the tape, then add more tape to keep the lug in place?
